Photos: 2005 Sacred Sites/ Shellmound Peace Walk

In November of 2005, Indian People Organizing for Change and SSP&RIT organized the first Sacred Site/Shellmound Peace Walk, spanning 270 miles of the Bay Area. The walk began at Sogorea Te (Glen Cove) on November 6th and ended at 24 days later at the Emeryville Huchiun Shellmound (destroyed by the Bay Street Mall). It was a spiritual pilgrimage, visiting dozens of sacred shellmounds, praying with the ancestors and raising awareness about the continued desecration and destruction of these areas.
